The team, which would also have a full-time party worker, had to spend three days in each of the constituencies every month till the elections and coordinate with the local leadership. Mr. Reddy explained that none of the team members would be allowed to contest from the constituency from where they were put in charge, but were free to join the electoral fray from other constituencies.
“Apart from the national and State issues, this team will take cognisance of the local issues and conduct meetings to strengthen the organisation. This is to get the party ready for the next elections and be in touch with the people through digital means with the single objective of bringing the party to power in the next elections,” he added.
